Power Resources
Here are some power resources to help you move your items on safely.
Your county, township, and trash hauler are your primary resources- their websites have information on what you need to recycle, how it needs to be prepared and when their hazardous waste and ecycling events are (usually in the spring and fall).
Donations are a tax deductible form of recycling. Remember to use itsdeductible.com to track your deductions if you want to submit them to your accountant for a tax deduction. There are many resources for donations, my current favorite is Impact Thrift, they pick up.
Google.com +what you want to recycle+ your zip code will help you find more resources.
Earth911.org - This is an informative website that also has lists of locations that accept all types of material for recycling by your zip code.
Freecycle.org - This is a community board where you can post items that you no longer want and hopefully there is someone out there who is looking for what you want to move on to a better home. I found a woman who needed notebooks, I had tons of notebooks...she came by and picked them up one day! Out of my office!
Local Libraries- accept fiction & non-fiction books, CDs, DVDs & VHS tapes. Do not give them old text books, encyclopedias or VHS tapes that you recorded from your TV. Call yours to double check.
Stuffed Animals These can be tricky to get rid of. This is a great organiziation, they package and donate mostly to local police forces to help put at ease st the scene of crises. The Ardmore Chapter is not receiving donations until May
Upcoming Shredding Events ProShred IKEA-NAPO Event Titan Shredding & Shred Patrol
Staples and Best Buy take most ecycling, my favorite is to donate to Team Children in Audubon, they repair and refurbish computers for those in need.
Grocery Stores-are great places to recycle those pesky plastic bags
Whole Foods -currently has containers for corks, #5 plastic and cell phones
HabitatforHumanity.org -These folks use your donations to raise capital for their projects. I have had them pick up a jacuzzi, doors, furniture and windows. Call your local store because what they accept changes depending on what they have in stock, sometimes they will pick up.
Recycle Pretty Much Everything else in Pottstown, they take pretty much anything you can think of...
